Good morning, gentlemen. Thank you very much for all your presentations. I'm going to focus right now on agriculture and my questions are for Mr. Friesen and Mr. Vander Ploeg. I always believed that one of the largest elements of support in our economy in Canada, and specifically in western Canada, is agriculture. I'd like to see that industry advancing further on all levels, first of all, to increase the level of contribution in what we produce, in other words, to advance our economy further and to have job creation, especially in the rural areas, where we do suffer from a young labour force and people leaving to the urban centres.
Mr. Friesen, you did not ask the government for any money, which is unusual. We haven't heard that throughout our consultations. How can we use any fund, any government participation, in advancing our agriculture industry, and where is the potential in terms of dollars and in terms of man-hours within the spectrum of what we do in the next few years?
As I said earlier, next to oil in Alberta, I see agriculture as the filler for the gaps that we have right now that are being created by the volatile oil markets.
